Buddhism and Human Cloning
Korean cloner Hwang Woo-suk, quoted in Stem Cell and Buddhism:
    Cloning is a different way of thinking about the cycle of life and re-birth. It is a Buddhist way of thinking.
The article also contains this idiotic statement from Dong-A University professor Kwak Man-youn:
    Whether Hwang recognizes it or not, his idea corresponds with that of Buddhism. The Buddha did not see an early-stage embryo as a life.
